From the Danbury News.
In the rear OF q certain house some miles out of
town there is small outbuilding used as a wash
house and summer kitchen. One day an old rat
was seen to come out from under it, which from
his peculiar appearance attracted attention. His
ears were ragged and partly gone, his tail was
skinned and sore, and he appeared generally
used up He moved slowly and carefully, and after
watching mm While 1t was seen that he was
busted himself about the Old one, bringing him
bits OF food and keeping near him constantly. A
dog Dalked across the street. aud instantly there
was a commotiou. The younger one jumped
toward his blind companion, another rat coming
TO his assistance, and the Two Selling the old
fellow Dy the ears one on each side, dragged him
quickly under The shed out OF danger He was
evidently an old patriarch OF the family and his
wei worn appendages were evidences OF the fire.
Quent anxiety OF Ills friends for his safety The
above Is a true as well is curious story.

From the indianapolis Journal
A romantic cOurtshp has been happily ended by
the marriage at Lawrenceyille, Ill, OF Lee Towns
ley and Miss Grace Bond, both OF Oaktown, Ind
Her father had set his heart on Miss Grace wedding
some one chosen for her years ago. and the atten-
lions OF young Townsley, when they became some
what assiduous, were quite distasteful. She was
urged to discountenance his suit. but she didn't:
on the'coDtrary, she received 1T with much favor,
whereupon Mr.. Bond went to Mr.. Townsley and
forbade further visits to his daughter. Added to
this Miss Grace was under the strictest surveil-
lance and she was scarcely permitted TO leave her
home, even to go TO church or Sunday school. ON
thursday, however, the young people met at the
big Odd Fellows celebration near OaktOwn. Miss
Grace said:
Have you rig?"
"NO; why?"
"Get one, and Wen stop this thing"
Mr.. ToWnSley lost no time. He secured horse
ana buggy, and in few minutes was driving furi-
ousy toward his fathers, at PleaSantville He
tarred there but little time, and theh turned to-
ward VlncenneS, arriving at 3 o'clock In the morn
Ing. An hour later he drove on to Lawrenceyllle
where Judge Barnes quickly tied the nuptial knot

Immense cheering.1
What answer has New England to
this message? Will she permit the pre-
iudice of war to remain in the hearts of
the cOnquerOrs when il has died i'm the
hearts of the conquered? Will she
transmit this prejudice to the next gen.
eratiOn, that in hearts which never felt
the generous ardor of conflict it may
perpetuate itself? Will she withhold,
save in strained courtesy, the hand
which straight from his soldiers heart
Grant offered to Lee at Appomattox?
Will she make the vision of restored
and happy people, which gathered
above the couch of your dying captain,
filling his heart with peace, touching
his lips with praise and glorifying his
path to the grave-will she make this
vision on which the last sigh of his ex-
piring soul breathed a benediction, or
cheat or delusiOn? If she does, the
South, never abject in asking for COM
radship, must accept with dignity its
refusal. But if she does not refuse to
accept in frankness and sincerity this
message of good will and friendship,
then will the prophecy of Webster, de-
livered to this very society forty years
ago amid tremendous applause, be veri-
fled in its fullest and final sense, when
he said: "Standing hand to hand and
clasping hands, we should remain
united as we have been for sixty years
citizeEs of the same country, members
of the same Government, united, all
united nowand united forever" There
have been difficulties, contentious and
controversies, but l tell you that in my
judgment
Those opposed eyes,
Which, like the meteors of a troubled
heaven,
All of one nature. of one substance bred,
Did lately meet in tn intestine shock,
Shall now, in mutual well-beseeming ranks.
March all one way. Prolonged applause. ]
Mr.. Grady's glowing tribute to Abra-
ham Lincoln brought every man to his
feet. His graphic description of the de-
feated returning Confederate soldier
was well received, and his reference to
the contentment of the Southern negro
with his employers made a good i'm
preston. At the close of his speech
the band played "Way Down South in
Dixie" and the entire company rose to
their feet and gave three cheers for Mr..
Grady and three more for the Empire
State of the South.

Extremely had manners assume the
proportions Ct a vice. People, for ex-
ample, who shove and push their neigh
bors on the sidewalk or bump into them
without apology violate something more
than good taste. The fault is hardly one
Of ignorance alone; it is consciously self
ish, for nobody would treat friend in
such a fashion.
The smoking Of five cent cigars in
streets that are crowded with women is
another practice, and very common one,
which is worse than ride. Even the
manner in which an apology is received
may be SO churlish as to constitute an
affront. 1t is unpleasant 10 he tramplcd on,
but when the offender has apologized it
becomes a duty to accept his apology as Il
full reparation for the accidental injury.
